The present work investigates the mechanical properties and tribological behavior of Al-B4C composites. Attempts were made to overcome the wetting problem between B4C and liquid aluminium at lower temperatures for promising the mechanical and tribological behaviour of the Al -B4C composites. AA6061-B4C particle reinforced composites were produced through casting route at 850ºC with K2TiF6 added as flux to overcome the wetting problem between B4C and liquid aluminium metal. The Aluminium B4C composite

Sick Building Syndrome | Heating and Air Conditioning Sick building syndrome (SBS) has is mainly recognized in commercial settings‚ such as office buildings where a large number of persons work. However‚ tightly constructed homes can also experience it. SBS is the result of tight construction and a reduction of fresh air entering the indoor environment. As the call for energy efficiency increased beginning in the 1970s‚ the quality of indoor air continued to fall. SBS is the unwanted result. Fortunately

watched a downloaded movie before it reaches cinema? This is known as media piracy and it is destroying the auratic viewing experience of viewing a film in cinema. In the following essay I will look at the short essay‚ The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction‚ written by Walter Benjamin (1936) and what he means by this ‘aura’ of uniqueness. I will provide a visual example to explain this concept. This discussion will relate to the notion of distance‚ and also how Benjamin (1936) explains

The Effect of the Type of Building Material on the pH of the Vinegar Introduction: For this experiment‚ the town council wanted to test which building material would be the best to build statues in a zoo. The building material with the lowest pH would be the best building material because while 7 is neutral anything below 7 is considered acidic and anything higher than 7 results in a base. Precipitation of 5.5 or lower is considered acid rain. Connecticut and most of the United States have to
